Whenever I give prospective clients walk throughs of our platform, I make the following offer: Download the app, use it, heck run a project with it but on one condition. The condition being that a client is NOT paying you to do the project. So as long as a study is self funded, the platform is yours to try out and play with for as long as you like.

Our rationale is that we don't want anyone to start a live project without first having played with the app. So they can go through a very simple but critical learning curve. And if they decide it's not for them, then better to know before they start a live project.

About this site

My name is Siamack Salari and I am a partner at www.ethosapp.com. I am also the President of the Mobile Marketing Research Association (http://www.mmra-global.org/).
This is a sister site to my Linked in Group which is also called, Ethnosnacker (www.linkedin.com/e/gis/129888). I created, ethnosnacker to stimulate much needed debate about what commercial ethnographic research is, isn't and should be.
I also use this site to share my day-to-day experience of managing a mobile ethnographic research platform (www.ethosapp.com).
I want this blog to serve as a single 'place' for all of us who have any interest at all in adding meaning to observations of every day life to 'meet', share and exchange ideas, knowledge and news.
Feel free to contact me at siamack(at)ethosapp(dot)com with articles, comments, suggestions and ideas to make this resource as useful as possible.
Thank you for visiting.
